"Hold on, stop shoutin', I'm comin." Thomas said, carrying around a large and heavy toolbox that if he were to throw around would probably take 'em with it. Thomas was the general technician of the rig. He was sent all sorts of ways just to fix stuff because most other people were nearly completely incompetent.

"Ah shut your gob Thomas and do your damn job." He said before he grabbed a cigarette and leaned on the side rail. "Why the hell are you here mate? All I hear you do is whine."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaiqhX6eIF

"Gotta get money some way 'ey Calum?" Thomas said as he was fixing some meaningless piping.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9B9TXXx4D
"Rich coming from you of all people." Thomas said as he walked away. "I gotta go up the leg, I got a message over the radio."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDJbErkA9J

"Ight mate, just watch out, I 'eard boss is extra pissy today towards the mechanics."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBVExJLVwn
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rbWWjAID6
Thomas quickly whizzed around. "What?" 176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHoo60E9kf

176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9NOPcrxSH
"What else is fuckin' new." Thomas said before he made is trek up the ridiculously long steps of the leg. The leg of an oil rig is essentially support beams that stretch to the ocean floor. Of course the interior of the leg doesn't reach all the way to the floor, but it goes down a fair distance.
Thomas was unfortunately needed in the Operations Room. "For god... Sake..." Thomas said, as he swung open the door to the Operations Room after his ridiculously long trek.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK4pIMn2su

"Some people just take their sweet time 'ey?" The guy dressed in more relaxed clothing stated.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka7FYboKOp
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltA5sjxEkP
"Come on man, tell me the issue before I fill your brain with shot." Thomas said as he lugged his toolbox onto a small table in the corner of the room.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd0ALYDU9p
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpH2sbBHWC
"A bit hostile for someone so tired. Anyhow, the drill don't seem to be working."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBEzfDk5t
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fk0E1DUVw
"What?" Thomas said, clearly irritated. "Why? What do you expect me to do with such shit information?" The man dressed in well clothing chuckled.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6vbKVb6Uc

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't be laughin'. But that is really all we have mate. It is not workin', and we have absolutely zero idea why, other mechanics are down tryna figure out the issue." So this is what Calum meant by "extra pissy." Because some emu cunt decided to hit and run our drill. 176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLZhH5Au0

"I see, I see. My bad, I'm in a bit of a poor mood if you could guess." Thomas said apologetically.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AU22GLAO
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡist6oJtdKN
"No, no, it's quite alright. Everyone's a bit on edge today."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuVPvtd8Vk
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwBhVJgQfS
"Why did you call me up here if the issue's with the drill?" Thomas asked.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq0Nn06SQW
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelwxRlFVEj
"There's already so many people down with the drill trying to figure out what sent it out into a lazy frenzy, we were curious if you could see if there was some issue below?"176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtQTRtlEgA
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfmpazhViw
"Wha'd you mean?" Thomas asked.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzHr2zNZd8
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnRuRyQd6Q
"The drill is programmed to stop if it encounters an excessively strong material, so while we believe it to be a hit and run by a former employee, we were curious if you could go down the dive bell and check out the dig site."
Sigh.
"It'll be alright kid." The old man said. "I am the man of the dive bell, you'll be 'ight."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU9MriOfwM
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAB8i3dGFF
"You better. Don't send me flyin' down 'dere alright?" Thomas said, as he got into more proper attire.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKogeem2Zig
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnOu5HDnAm
"Don't worry, I got ya." The old man said. "My name's William by the way."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvBSNzPqwC
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFnB8aisDG
"Thomas."176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkY3Qghu9c
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKJzAy5pke
"Right, Thomas, I need you to trust me on this, I got you. I've been workin' here for years, you're in good hands." William said. That isn't necessarily a pro considering your age.
Now slowly descending in the dive bell, Thomas sat for a minute, just gently breathing to himself. It wasn't his first time in a dive bell, yet his anxiety was spiking. He didn't know what it was, but something was making him panic.
Once he reached the bottom, he opened the hatch and quickly swam out to check the dive site. He swam quickly, as he wanted to get out of there as fast as humanly possible. It's programmed to stop if it hits too hard of a metal right? What is too hard for a fuckin' drilll?176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87RlCXXS7z
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBao72WKPYq
Of course, Thomas couldn't necessarily see all the way to the bottom of the location the drill was digging, so he had to see if he could see any materials or objects from afar causing the issue. Before he enter'd the divebell, he grabbed a torch to illuminate the bottom as much as possible to see if he could even see a fraction of a possible problem.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjGk3kXlG2
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfTkDKWegQ
"Alright... Let's see what's down here." He said as he shook the torch to turn it on. However, he felt his entire body freeze as he stared down the meant to be gaping deep whole.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9q53BKdMH
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL4N4fx0V2
"Is that... Man made metal? The drill has dug fartha' than this right?!" Just around 150 or so meters down, he saw a far away metal structure, with what seemed to be a glass window on the top. 176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzqrFgwMPO
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPWqpiWU0l
Just then, from afar, he saw a shadow banging on the glass window that somehow rang in his ears despite being many meters away. Without skipping a beat, he swam as fast as he could away until the rupturing banging sound in his ear finally ceased.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwS4O2uIYY
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFno3EDSqAn
"I gotta... Tell everyone." Thomas said, now heart beating like a rapid drum and his breathing turning rapid.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbyjgKOVgV
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NKh1tUJHe
He swam as fast as he could to the dive bell before swinging open the bottom hatch and climbing up before he sat down.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN7FO5AdM1
"I am seeing things. I have ta' be- Oh what the fuck am I kiddin', you don't just see that shit!" Thomas said before standing up and rapidly pulling on the rope. Thomas continued to rapidly tug on the rope, to get not a response. The dive bell stayed completely stationary, and he received zero response back on the rope.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsuCdrG5v1
"Pull me up ya twat!" He said, rapidly tugging on the rope excessively, much, much more than five times.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbFAS3pJ4u
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6k6H6o2E4
"I SAID PULL ME UP TWAT!" He shouted, despite knowing not a single soul could hear his constant shouting near 200 meters down. I knew I shouldn't have trusted that rusty old geezer to actually have is head screwed on right. He said, now sitting down, trying to calm down while still constantly tugging on the rope.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxC9vfjyuu
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb1ZTFt8Y3
Just then, he felt a slight shake in the dive bell that quickly turned into a violent shaking, knocking him around all which way, giving him a deep gash in his hand as his hand quickly was pulled off the rope, causing very bloody rope burn.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP9GDvcLGO
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAzyibbbV4
"What the fuck is going on up there?" He said in a somewhat quiet but shaky and concerned tone. Once the shaking came to a short halt, he felt the dive bell slowly ascend as his dive bell continued to shake violently, tossing him around every which way. "Holy shit!" He said before his head bashed into the side of the dive bell, knocking him unconscious.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFR0Czb3Ho
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkiQi33er1
Once his eyes opened, the dive bell had stopped shaking, but it felt unstable. Every time he made even the smallest movement, he heard an eerie creak coming from outside. He calmly stood up before he felt his oxygen slowly seep from his throat. His lungs felt empty, his throat closed, and his legs and arms immediately gave up before he fell to the floor once again. Shortly after, he felt air entering his body again, and felt his muscles and blood properly running through his body before his muscles and lungs gained control again. 176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9Tb3bkyMc
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzleT47fYjH
He stood up one more time before he opened the hatch to the dive bell, still hearing the eerie creaking, and as he stepped outside to an unfamiliar, almost rustic and decrepit metal platform, he looked up once more and saw an absolutely horrifying sight.176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKbZ5QMC2F
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2FTxbP5Jx
The sight of his once bright, (of course, a bit of an exaggeration,) oil rig, now rusty and falling apart that looked like as if hell itself had come from the shadows and aged the thing five-hundred or so years, probably even more.
"What... The fuck..."
